Hi!
Can you weigh in?

I own an iMac and iPad which I urgently need to work flawlessly for the kind of work that I do. I have struggled to find a filter that does not cause me trouble nonstop from blocking things that shouldn’t be blocked at all to slowing things down too much. Anyone find something that worked fine?

The filter I have now have gr8 customer service but the repeated blocks are aggravating when I am pressured to get work done and be productive.

Any help? Ty

Disclaimer I don't really believe in filters

Having said that If it's the same apps websites functions that keep getting blocked can you tell the provider that these items need to be whitelisted?

Maybe they have a different filter plan that you could switch to

If it's a school that's requiring you to have a filter can you explain it to them and maybe they can help you find another option

Sorry I'm a bit confused by what you mean by individual... You mean that you personally picked a filter it wasn't a school or something demanding it?

I'm in the same predicament.

I ended up using the WebChaver filter through Covenant Eyes, but it's not very strong. It's basically only blocking the really bad stuff.

If your filter isn't working for you. Look up different types and change it.

I hear apple's parent controls are pretty good
